“Examining mathematics, politics, theology, and architecture, the book demonstrates the continuing relevance of the ancient world.”
Publishers Weekly
“Arthur Herman’s excellent history combines thrilling accounts of battles like those brought to the big screen in ‘Master and Commander,’ with a terrific strategic analysis. He reminds us that the sea unites distant and far away lands.”
New York Post
“The book will surely be controversial and subject to attack from all sides, for its author insists that we must hold McCarthy’s enemies and victims to the same standards to which we hold him. McCarthy himself was as much a phenomenon as McCarthyism.”
Publisher’s Weekly
“A splendid history of the British Royal Navy. . . . Herman writes extremely well. . . . Good one-volume histories of one of the world’s most vital fighting forces appear rarely; this one should rule for a while to come.”
Publishers Weekly
“A rarely told industrial saga, rich with particulars of the growing pains and eventual triumphs of American industry . . . Arthur Herman has set out to right an injustice: the loss, down history’s memory hole, of the epic achievements of American business in helping the United States and its allies win World War II.”
The New York Times Book Review
“A splendid account of what happens when human beings forsake common sense in favor of
exciting abstractions.”
Renowned for his dynamic stage presence and incisive commentary, Dr. Herman transforms history into a riveting conversation about the world we live in today. His lectures bridge the gap between eras, compelling audiences to rethink the past and engage the future with renewed clarity.
